Look into those eyes. Brighe didn’t deserve what happened to her. Her owners claimed she had run away on Halloween in 2020 and had been missing ever since. But when they reunited with her, she was in critical condition, unable to stand or walk on her own. Her owners surrendered her to a rescue organization, unable to provide the care she needed.
It was clear to the rescue team that Brighe’s condition wasn’t due to being alone for too long. Someone who knew what they were doing had intentionally starved her. Her refeeding had to be done meticulously slowly to prevent organ failure. But Brighe fought hard, and after several days in the hospital, she finally managed to eat on her own.
With each passing day, Brighe made progress. She gained weight and began to walk on her own. Her foster family provided the love and care she needed to heal, and slowly but surely, Brighe’s sweet nature and forgiving spirit began to shine through.
Then the day Brighe had been waiting for finally arrived—the day she could go home. She settled in well with her foster family, playing with toys and enjoying her meals every four hours. Her progress was nothing short of remarkable, and soon she was able to take daily walks and even work on her leash manners.
But Brighe’s journey wasn’t over yet. After 62 days of healing, she was finally adopted by a loving family who welcomed her with open arms. Brighe now has a new sister and a mom and dad who are thrilled to have her as part of their family. With each day that passes, Brighe continues to show her strength and resilience, proving that even after enduring unimaginable cruelty, love and forgiveness can prevail. Brighe’s journey is a reminder that every dog deserves the chance at a happy, healthy life, and that with the right care and support, even the most broken souls can heal and thrive.
